Description

The Twitter Cards Meta plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the twitter_card_type metadata added to posts in versions up to, and including, 2.9.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user supplied value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page
